ndi word 'Sari' originates from an amalgamation of the Sanskrit word 'sati' (a strip of cloth), and the Prakrit word 'Sattika' of the same meaning. The history of Indian clothing has the 'saree' dating back to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization that flourished in the Western parts of the Indian Subcontinent, in and around 2800-1800 BC. During this period, 'dhoti' was the one-piece garment that was worn, both my men and women. It was only after the 14th century that the 'saree' evolved out of the 'dhoti', as single-cloth attire, designed and colored, exclusively for females. The Hindus believed that piercing clothes was impure, and as a reason, the Indian saree was predominantly, a single- cloth unstitched garment till the country was invaded by Muslim rulers, who brought along the concept of stitched clothes in the form of the petticoat, the ghagra, and the blouse. The saree has been adorning the curvy Indian woman with comfort, sensuality, and style, since ages.
